Furthermore, I'm not on board with the 'captain goes down with the ship' b.s. It wasn't a ship, no lives were at stake, and anybody with half a brain would give themselves the advantage if they had that choice. It's a contest, not the Titanic!

Love how the guy who got his stand mixer pulled excelled in the challenge and also loved the sportsmanship of Luca in giving him kudos for a job well done.

Agree. That was a bad analogy. It's a freaking contest. He would have been considered a dumba$$ by the judges (let alone the entire viewing audience) if he didn't use one of the saves for himself.

Anyone notice Joe spitting profusely over the food while requesting more chimichurrie for that one firefighter? Yeah, If I were there, I might want to skip those particular (delicious stunning world beating premium choice steaks hand picked by angels and packaged in unobtanium Walmart steaks that no doubt will create world peace, end global warming and cause your favorite sport team to win their league championship) steaks..thank you!

I was hoping to see Natasha and her eye brows go...oh well. But Kathy was in over her head. Nice try though. And man, I'm not a lobster fan, but that looked tasty as hell!

Natasha was going a little overboard with that 'you can't call ANY food disgusting' bit. She didn't need to bully the girl. I had a pretty good feeling she (Kathy) was gone. I'd have been happy to see Natasha get the ax, though, just for GPs.

Love how the one team had (and smartly took) the opportunity to trade out that nasty Krissi woman. ha! Seems like whatever team Krissi is on is the team that loses.

I like this show better than most of the food "reality" stuff, but between Walmart and the contrived Vegas setting, this was a low point. Throw in Natasha and Krissi, and I was cranky when I finished watching.

So, were they standing by to go to BurGR the first time they had a four-way tie for last, or did they go into this episode fully intending to do a 4-way tie for last?

I really distrust this show with every fiber of my being, yet I still enjoy it.

This is my first season watching, but it strikes me like any number of these 'skill' type reality shows (ie, Project Runway) where the producers get rid of who they want to, and the product created by the contestants is only auxillary.

That being said, I'm still enjoying it, mostly for the food aspect.

All of Ramsay's US shows are clearly focused on drama, much of it manufactured, than on the people or talent. Kitchen Nightmares, whatever his restaurant and hotel rescue shows are called, etc. In every one of them, he spends most of his time berating the people, the facility and/or the product, even when the purpose of the show is helping people.

It can be entertaining, as long as you bear in mind that what you're seeing is controlled by the producers and editors, and probably has little resemblance to reality.

I am enjoying this season less than I have in the past. It used to be my favorite summer show and I would really look forward to it, and now it's kind of meh.

One thing is that the judges' reactions seem more fake and contrived to me. They just seem more over the top and fake. I also didn't like the HK Gordon Ramsay set-up where he was expediting and doing a lot of yelling. (I can't watch HK; I like the warmer and fuzzier MC Ramsay.)

It could be that this season just is less good, or maybe I'm just over it, but actually I think a lot of it is the format change. I really preferred having two 1-hour shows a week to having one 2-hour show. Somehow all the drama and internal recaps and dramatic cuts before every commercial break just doesn't play well for me when it's in a 2-hour block. By the end, I am tired of it and slightly annoyed and ready to do something else. (Obviously, I could just stop after the first ep and watch the second another day, but somehow when the rest of the recording is there I just find myself continuing to watch. Maybe I'll try splitting it up this week and see if I am happier with the show.)

Are they going to keep showing two episodes a week. i like the show but I don't typically want to watch two shows a week. Although I've just aout caught up. I have the last hour from last week to watch. ButI probably won't get to it until after this weeks show has aired.

Personally I would never give up the immunity but if someone were confident enough in their skills, go for it. That should NEVER be a reason to fire someone either on MC or Apprentice. Only their results should be cause.

I liked during the burger contest that Luca was calling READY NOW whenever Ramsey called as it put stress on the other team. Too bad he was putting up raw meat. :P
